This is great for summer bbq’s. Can definitely serve this with some pita chips.

Are there foods/dishes that this salsa is typically paired with or is it, as you say, for anything?

Usually tacu tacu (rice and beans), arroz con pollo (rice with coriander and chicken), arroz con pato (rice with coriander and duck), pan con chicharron y camote (fried pork & sweet potato sandwich), tamales, fried fish served with rice, etc.
